  1. Thank you for reply! I re-launched the three sats today and they are all right now. I'm not sure what happened yesterday; perhaps Slartibartfast happened to be in my way-lol. Anyway now the signal strength is 26%, exactly what I expected. I'm only building this simple commu-net to ensure my probe on Mun under control when KSC is on far side of Mun-Kerbin. Happy launching!
  2. Hello guys, I have played this game for quite a long time but am still confused with the antenna. I started a new game with single ground station (KSC) and launched 3 relay sats equipped with 2 HG-01 antenna to Kerbin 6-hour orbit (about 2860000m height). The three relays separate from each other with 120 degree difference, so the distance separates the three relays is around 5000000m which is within the max distance of my antenna—8000000m, but the three relays only have extremely weak connection with each other, which confuses me very much. Since the two HG-01 on my relay are pointing in opposite direction, I doubt seriously the antenna pointing direction has something to do with connection (though indicated in Wiki it doesn’t). Say, if considering only one HG-01 antenna of two relays, then the max distance would be 5000000m, which accounts for the weak connection. Am I making some mistakes here? P.S. I don’t think the connection is weaken by Kerbin atmosphere; the line connecting two relays at orbit 2860000m is far from Kerbin atmosphere.
